The Sweetest Gift

Tomorrow afternoon is our 3rd grade class Christmas party. Since we're in a Christian school, we're privileged to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. I wanted to put a little something together that would be fun and meaningful for the kids. Here's what I've been up to this evening . . .

May these sweets help you celebrate Jesus, the very sweetest gift of all...

A candy-cane, shaped like a shepherd’s staff, to remind you that Jesus came to be your Good Shepherd (John 10:11).

A gold-wrapped Rolo, shaped like a crown, to remind you that Jesus is the King of Kings (Revelation 19:16).

Smarties, to remind you that Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6).

A Dove, a symbol for peace, to remind you that Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

A Starlight mint, to remind you that Jesus is the Light of the World (John 8:12).

A Milky Way, to remind you that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).

A Life Saver, to remind you that Jesus came to be your Savior (Luke 2:11).

A Hershey Hug, to remind you that Jesus loves you (John 3:16).

An Almond Joy, to remind you that Jesus is the source of joy (John 15:11).

Wow! What a wonderful way to share the celebration and true meaning of Christmas!!! I teach 6th Grade Sunday school and plan to do this for my students. Just wanted thank you and let you know that your gift will definitely make a difference to many! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas filled with all of His love and many blessings!!!

I just found this on Pinterest! Our homeschool Co-op will be making about 130 of these to take to a nursing home next month. Thank you so much for the inspiration! I love the font of the list of candies shown in the picture. Could you share which font you used? Thank you!
